# Just think about it

Can 2 raise to the power something be equal to 0? If yes then at what value?

Can we say 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 equal to zero.

This would only approach 1. Any negative power would be less than 1.

So technically, $$2^{-\infty} = 0$$. But then again, $$-\infty$$ isn't a number.

But still if we say that 2^-100000000000 it is zero.

No, it's still not absolute zero.

So, finally we conclude that anything raise to the power any integer is not zero.

0 raised to the power of any positive real is 0.

You need to qualify what "anything" refers to.

No, that's the law of logarithm.

No.

No. Because 0 is not a number.

Because 0 is not a number.

Are you sure? xP

I'm guessing you mean infinity?
